A. T. STEWARDS STOLEN BODY.
Interesting Revelations = The Real
Thieves and the Money They Got.

The publication of the New York ex-Su-
perintendent of Police Walling's book has
resulted at last in revealing the true facts in
the robbery of Millionaire Stewards body.
As will be remembered, it was stolen from
the vault in the old ehurchyard at Stuyvesant
Place and Second avenue one dark night soon
after its burial, and despite large rewards
and the employment of the best detectives
no clue to its whereabouts could be found.
1t now seems that the body lies in secret
vault in the Garden City cathedral, and that
it was finally secured one dark night by a
young relative of Mrs. Stewart. who met the
robbers alone and unprotected and exchanged
twenty Thousand dollars in bills for the body.
1t is large sum to pay for corpse.
These facts serve as very plain text that
should lead any thinking man to preach him
self sermon full Of good sense. There are
thousands of men in business, Law, medi-
cine, politics and the like who value their
lives highly, and yet who have harnessed
themselves with oyer-work, care and ankle
ty, and who, like A. T. Stewart did, are
driving themselves under the sharp lash of
ambition, at break neck speed, to the grave
or the insane asylum. They will not pause
Scotch Oats Essence to rest, calm and
strengthen their brain and nerves and avert
the terrible disaster that threatens them. A
body may be kept alive for one dollar where
it takes twenty Thousand dollars to recover a
corpse.
Unquestionably Stewart worked himself
to death. He was at it from early morning
wealth knew scarcely hours pleasure.
Over-work and over strain produce disease of
heart, liver and kidneys as well as brain and
nerve troubles, and he who is wise will not
let the chance to save his life with Scotch
Oats Essence pass him by.

Deals in base ball are still going on. Nearly

G. 81. Griswold, of Hartford, and F. A.
Wodtke of the New Ravens have signed to
play in Brooklyn.
Foutz and Bushong and Welch have been
transferred from the st. Louis to the Brook
lyns. The Browns will have very few of
this seasons players left for next season.
cold Reliable Joe Brown of the Bridge
ports last season is i'll in that city with con
sumption, and also has the misfortune to be
in financial straits. He is to be given BEN
eft ball by some of his many friends.
Mrs. Katherine Kelley of Boston, mother.
in-law of Joe Hornung, Beston's left fielder,
is visiting her son in Syracuse. She says
that Boston has given Hornung and 81 900
for the release of Pitcher Clarkson. The sale
of Hornung has already been announced, but
the rest of the deal is not known.
Caruthers begged President Byrne of the
Brooklyn team to get him away from the st.
Louis. All the arrangements were made,
when Caruthers suddenly refused to go to
Brooklyn. It seems that although he said
he would play ball no more, he didn't mean
it. Mr.. Byrne says he will play in Brooklyn
or nowhere.
